AN: Another chapter from the best author ever! Mu hu ha ha ha! I shall bask in my glory!
Juicy: scratching at bandages around her neck You are in no way 'the best author ever'
Inu-chan: rolling eyes and walking away Here we go again
HnA: Listen, woman. I am sick of your shit and if you keep talking I'm going to finish what I started.
Juicy: You can't. 1. You wouldn't kill anyone, even if you didn't like them 2. That's illegal and you'll go to jail
HnA: That's what you think. I would kill someone if they annoyed me enough and it wouldn't be a crime if I killed you, you're a figment of my imagination. And besides if it did I could always plea insanity.
Juicy: I think I'm gonna go on vacation... backs away

Tell Me
---
"What do you mean?" Kagome looked at Inuyasha blankly.
"You know exactly what I mean." He stared at her angrily, his face was tense and he couldn't believe she was acting this way..
"Actually I don't."
"Okay, then can you tell me why you lied when you were down there?"
"What?" Kagome had a shocked look on her face.
"You were about to tell me just before that guy came..." He trailed off when he saw Kagome's eyes widen. He blinked and she turned around quickly. "It was him wasn't it? The next time I see him I'm going to-"
"Get yourself killed?" She turned back around quickly to show him the tears running down her face. "I understand that you're a hanyou and you can heal yourself faster than humans but..." She trailed off and began to cry harder, loud sobs raked her body as Inuyasha started to scowl.
"You think that just because I'm only half, that I can't defeat someone with more youkai blood flowing in their veins?"
"No! I-"
"I thought you would be different, that you wouldn't think that I'm weak just because I'm half human. But I guess I was wrong." He shook his head softly, a frown on his face. "I have to take shit from full fledged demons, no matter how much weaker they are than me. They think they're better than me because both their parents were demons. And then humans fear and hate me because of my youkai side."
"I know you're strong but-"
"But nothing, you think you're better just because your pure human blood isn't dirtied by-"
Kagome interrupted him, her sobs shaking her body. Did he really think that's how she felt? Did people really treat him like that?
"What is wrong with you? I don't think you're too weak, or dirty or unworthy, or anything like that. You were one the first people in our school to even bother to try to talk to me. So why would I think less of you just because of your heritage?"
"Because you're just like the rest of this damn world." He left the room, ignoring her quiet pleas to stay.

"Did that boy rape you?" Kagome sat up at her father's voice, they were on their way back to her house.
"No, I haven't known him for that long... He would never..." She looked back to the window, tears threatening to fall as she thought back to that night. The previous night. And the afternoon that was just ending.
Inuyasha believed that she thought he was weak and worthless. True, she hadn't known him very long. Barely two weeks but so much had happened in that short time. And she knew he wasn't worthless or weak. But Kouga...
He almost killed Inuyasha, according to what Miroku and Sango had told her. But she couldn't let anything happen to him he was her friend and she cared about him. Inuyasha was strong but not strong enough to protect her. Not from that monster.
A sigh escaped her lips and her father looked over at her, worried, but he didn't say a word and left her to think in her own silence.

"Why does she look like this?" Keishin gestured to his daughter's bruised skin.
"There are kids in her school that beat her up almost everyday." She turned towards her silent daughter. "Right, honey?"
Kagome lifted her head to watch her mother with a blank face, she turned and went up the stairs slowly. Her parents watched her until she was out of their sight and they heard her bedroom door close.
Keishin looked back to his wife, "What have you been doing to her?" His eyes were narrowed and she could hear the anger in his voice.
Nami frowned, getting sick of his demanding questions. "Why the hell should it matter to you? You've been gone for twelve long years. Whatever I've done to Kagome is none of your business. You left acting as if you'd be back in little less than a week, but did you come back in a week? Two? A month? A year? No! Twelve years!"
Keishin was taken aback by her behavior, before he left she was a sweet woman, all that time he was gone, had she changed that much? Into a mean and abusing mother. He realized he was getting off track from the original subject, "That doesn't answer my question. It doesn't matter if I was gone for 12 hours or 12 years, I'm here now and I wan't to know what happened to my daughter."
"I told those kids she's with, they treat her like a punching bag." Kami said, her face revealing nothing but anger. She threw her hands up in frustration, getting more agitated that her husband didn't seem to believe her, even if she was lying. "I told her to stay away from them-"
She stopped short when he grabbed her hand and his face was a few inches away from her own, "You've been hitting her."
"No, no! I haven't!" Her face showed fear as he started walking, causing her to back up and soon her back hit the wall with his body blocking her escape.
"You beat her everyday just because she's too weak to say anything or try to hit you back..."
She shook her to deny the truth but was shocked into stillness when she heard him whisper, "Perfect."

AN: Damn, this is getting crazy.
Inu-chan: You're wrong and evil.
HnA: It's angst, drama, and a freaky romance. Can't always be fun and games...
J-Boi: Just make sure you keep that up
HnA: Who's the author and who's the muse, boss?
J-Boi: Um...
Inu-chan: Review, faithful readers before this girl goes crazy
Juicy: You're 14 years too late to be saying that...
